It's clear that the emergence of 'the internet' some
30 years ago had a seismic impact on how we communicate. Back in
the early 90s, the digitisation of information created significant
opportunities in areas such as e-commerce, education, social media
and entertainment.
Fast forward to today, and we are now in the midst of a new,
second digital revolution; and this time, it is built on the
digitisation of assets, where anything of value can be digitised
and exchanged.
It's a concept that can be applied to a broad range of goods
- from art and fine wine to real estate - and it has the potential
to be transformative in how we conceptualise trade and investment,
opening up new ways to access markets, or indeed create new markets
that didn't exist before.
